Can anyone point me in the direction of a wiring schematic for the volt gauge. Mine is IN-OP mostly due to some PO knuckle head getting behind the dash and getting creative with the wiring. I see 3 posts on the back of the gauge. I would have thought one to positive off of ignition switch, and one to ground. What's the 3rd post for?
here's a gauge photo for reference
I'm not sure if mine has the + and - markings on it, I'd really like to see a schematic if anyone has access to it.

This is from an online schematic, if no one else can help we have the service manual at the shop, I wont be back there til friday to see if diagram is different than this one. -
Ground
+ positive

I was going to say the same though I believe where that blue plug is in the back is would be the spot that a socket and bulb would go with 2 leads off it.
I could be wrong though because someone told I was once before but I brushed it off because I believe I am always right. -

In looking at my 389 gauges today, most of them have a red idiot light built into each face of the gauge. Therefore, id have an illumination circuit, a ground and a hot, and another feed wire from the ecm(?) or sensor to light up the warning lamp part of the gauge. Do you think your odd terminal is just that- a lead from the ecm or else not, im not sure. We have a 2000 379 I might pop the panel off tomorrow and see how many wires the voltmeter has to it.
I wonder if different 379 interior packages/options have different gauge faces that
would use the same housing but feature the idiot light within the gauge thing? -
I just pulled the panel off our 379, theres nothing connected to the 3rd terminal on the voltmeter- its the same gauge as your picture in post
04SSHD Thanks this. -
good, thanks! I'll try to hook it up again, I'm wondering if my gauge itself is INOP
